1.What Do You Look For In A Band?
Our sound is made up of driving beats accompanied by thick layers of bass and synth, all topped off with emotionally intricate vocal melodies. In our spare time, we both love watching animated films such as Kung Fu Panda and Tangled. We enjoy fans that first of all love what we do and are willing to grow and change with us.
2.Keeping Busy
The last few months have been so crazy! I mean, we were both working in average part-time jobs only two months ago and now we have signed to amazing labels (Dryden Street, Polydor, Capitol and Island), and are planning tours all around the world! It truly is a dream come true for both of us.
3.Best Gig Ever
We have only played a handful of shows so far, but the stand out for us would have been playing at Rhythm and Vines [in New Zealand] over New Year’s. We never thought so many people would be keen to watch us live but the response was overwhelming.
4.Current Playlist
Georgia and I listen to a wide variety of acts and our tastes are rather contrasting, which I think you can hear in the music we make together. Georgia loves to listen to a lot of female artists such as Bat For Lashes, Laura Mvula and Twigs. Whereas I am a total Thom Yorke geek and love listening to artists such as James Blake, Moderat and Metronomy.
5.Your Ultimate Rider
My ultimate rider would have to be a bowl of only black jelly beans, a bottle of merlot from the year I was born, a packet of Marlboro Reds and a sheet of A4 paper with a wide selection of glitter pens!
